Hi all,
I'm from the UK and have a Lumia 735. It's a fantastic phone and really enjoy the WP 8.1 OS.
However, after dropping my phone in the cinema from a sitting height I noticed several scratches on the screen. I didn't bother with screen protectors or a case as the phone has Gorilla Glass 3 and there are numerous videos showing the glass can cope with knifes, keys etc.
I carry my phone in my pocket with nothing else in it - just the phone alone.
I was wondering if anyone else had found scratches on their 730/735? Furthermore, does putting a screen protector affect touch sensitivity or the feel of the phone? If so, by how much?
Btw - it is definitely a scratch as you can feel a slight indent on the screen when you run your finger nail on the affected area. Furthermore, there is a very slight, barely noticeable colour disfiguration on the screen display when on. Like I said, very small but I notice it!
Thanks for your advice in advance!

Numerous videos showing that the glass can cope with knives or keys is a complete waste..None of them will affect your Gorilla glass 3 screen as they are very soft compared to the material of the screen. What they don't examine is with sandpapers..Sand particles, dust are very minute and hard particles (very much harder than imbecile knife/key), and they can put hairline scratch marks on the phone screen..Putting a screen protector doesn't bother with the sensitivity, it is just you won't feel the smooth surface of the gorilla glass 3 (in case of matte finish scratch guards). My 730 fell on the WH-108 headset's divider and got a hairline scratch (the scratch was visible from only a certain angle). I got a scratchguard few days later, and the touch feels same as before, no issue with that..Never hesitate using a scratchguard no matter how advance the screen is..
